```cpp
bool CachedScript::shouldIgnoreHTTPStatusCodeErrors() const
{
#if PLATFORM(MAC)
    // This is a workaround for <rdar://problem/13916291>
    // REGRESSION (r119759): Adobe Flash Player "smaller" installer relies on the incorrect firing
    // of a load event and needs an app-specific hack for compatibility.
    // The installer in question tries to load .js file that doesn't exist, causing the server to
    // return a 404 response. Normally, this would trigger an error event to be dispatched, but the
    // installer expects a load event instead so we work around it here.
    if (WTF::MacApplication::isSolidStateNetworksDownloader())
        return true;
#endif

    return CachedResource::shouldIgnoreHTTPStatusCodeErrors();
}
